1909 United Kingdom silver and bronze set of circulating coins:
The Edward VII florin is like the early SLQs and Buffalo nickels: the date is one of the highest points on the coin and tends to get worn off quickly! All Edward VII farthings were deliberately issued with a dark finish by The Royal Mint as shiny red farthings could be confused with half-sovereigns: an AU or Uncirculated specimen should have a black finish.
